Woodpeckers occupy and echo the after dawn air-
My attention is theirs, to the trees my eyes stare-
A Caribbean water color sky so calm and so blue-
A few clouds mingle in, like a chalky white residue-
Jet trails kissing the morning sun's smile-
I think I found paradise, even if, even if...only for a little while-
A sky that seems to be never ending-
It's when I grab God's ear.... and I begin bending.
